One of the biggest issues today in the Merch by Amazon space is the ability to monitor your listings for Trademarks. When you have just a few listings, it can be incredibly easy to go in every week and take a look at your listing data to make sure you are not infringing on any intellectual property of another person or business. When you start to fill out yourRead more
Q4 is here and so are the Holidays! If you have been in Merch by Amazon for even a few weeks and have been doing your research (like you should!), then you know just how annoying research can be around the holidays. It is annoying because EVERYONE is trying to capitalize on the extra traffic and holidays by stuffing their bullet points and description with keywords. Today, we fixedRead more
When it comes to checking Trademarks for wording used in our designs and listings, we all know how much of a pain it can be. The USPTO website looks and acts like it is out of the early 90s, and if you have not spent the time to learn your way around, it can seem pretty daunting. That being said, it is a MUST that you understand trademark inRead more

Earlier this month we released our new Chrome extension which is part of the Merch Informer family of research products: The Merch Informer Book Hunter. This has already been a great source of easy, unsaturated niches that you can use on Merch by Amazon by using SOCIAL proof! The entire idea was to find ideas off of Amazon (on social media instead), and get some social proof that theseRead more
We just pushed a large update to the product designer inside of Merch Informer. You now have the ability to add any type of filter (what the industry calls a mask), to any of your designs with ANY image/background you want. For those who are not aware, the Merch Informer Products Designer is a FREE designer for Merch Informer subscribers. You can try it out by grabbing a freeRead more
Supply and Demand. That is, in a nutshell, what Merch by Amazon is all about. It does not matter if you are an artist, a business person, a stay at home mom, or just trying to scrap together a few hundred dollars a month with Merch. Your job is to find demand (or create it), and then offer the supply. Doing anything else, is a complete waste of time.Read more
This morning we pushed a MASSIVE update to the Merch Hunter you have come to know and love. We have added international marketers (UK/DE) for T-Shirts. This is going to open up so many different opportunities for these emerging markets when it comes to your research as well as figuring out what keywords work best for culture you may not be as familiar with. Merch Informer has also beenRead more
We have just released some pretty significant upgrades to the Keyword Finder module inside of Merch Informer. While these may seem small at first (as they are just 2 check boxes), this lets you pull back keywords for Amazon UK and Amazon DE (Germany). Let me demonstrate exactly why this is so important and how you can use it to get ahead of your competition. Amazon UK/Amazon DE KeywordsRead more

These updates are in an effort to fulfill that promise which is why international search has been added to the product search, andRead more
